That our phone is not even comparable to even the iPhone 4.
He had a galaxy s 2 epic touch and says its not as good as that either. I asked him why didn't he buy an iPhone since he liked it so much and he said that its because of "faster wifi speeds from sprint"
Yes, those words exactly.
I showed him my nexus, and he said that screen is not as good as the retnia display. We compared pictures and it made the iPhone look washed out. But he never changed his opinion because he said apple makes the best phones ever.
I partly agree, needless to say. I'm buying the galaxy nexus with an iPad. Or a iPhone and a kindle fire. ( for face time of course, can't do it on my main rig.. I run Linux gnu)

My boss has an iPhone 4 and I have an NS... our "battle" goes like this:
Boss - My iPhone can do this and this and this and this...... it's so much better.
Me - My phone can make a call.
Boss - Yeah You win.
Some go to apple because they see it as the best. Like everything from apple is the best. Let them be and after some time they will all be bowing to Google.

I don't know or care. It does not even matter for what he stated. Poking fun at iPhone GSM users by saying how is your 4g service is just dumb.
On the subject of fanboyism... i know someone who thinks apple is soo great he was willing to buy a iPhone 3G cause he thinks its better (Mainly cause he claims lcd is far higher quality than amoled). Wouldn't even consider a 3GS or a 4 because they are too expensive.. SO yea cheapo fanboy.
To make things worse he is judging android based on a old samsung phone that was end of life when he bought it and was stuck at like eclair (was forced to root it out of box just to make it do anything half decent). He wouldn't even consider a Nexus S with Super LCD (i9023) because it was too expensive.
To simplify things.... you can't win a war with a fanboy you are just hitting your head on a brick wall.

I looked into it as the LTE was very tempting, however, the processor was a deal breaker for me. I'll wait until AT&T has a Samsung phone with an Exynos processor and LTE. Good Luck and enjoy your note. Its still a good phone.

Had the Streak 5, good phone but I sold it to buy SGS2. I would not trade my SGS2 for a Streak even though I miss the 5" screen.
Buddy of mine just got a note and although the screen is amazing, my SGS2 just feels more speedy. I would trade for a note, but they would need $50 extra to convince me.

Its just most of us are here cause we like our phones, if you go to the note they will tell you they love the phone.
If you go to another section its going to be the same thing for the most part.
Go to the store, play with it for a good amount of time and see if you like it.
Personally I thought it was too big for me.
You can always try it out and see if you like it. I still think its a little too big but that's me. Everyone's opinions will be subjective. If your going for the international version that will be a different story. The AT&T version might not have as much support.

Isn't their return policy 30 days with a $35 restocking fee? If your willing to eat that, than yes, I'd definitely at least try it out. Other than LTE and a huge display I don't really see what this phone offers over the OG Galaxy SII? The screen isn't Super AMOLED Plus, its got that pentile display which isn't as nice. But you never know until you try it. Hang onto your GSII just in case.

Playing with my buddy's skyrocket I noticed a lag throughout the home screens. It wasn't bad by any means but it kind of felt like it couldn't keep up. The OG SII had no problem. Games will also perform better on the exynos processor as well.
For some its not a deal breaker. You be the judge.

Then you should be fine. Are you upgrading to the Note or buying it off contract? If so, I would't get it from AT&T, as you'll pay an arm and a leg.
Hi everyone
I commute to work into the city every day.On the train I see the usual suspects iPhone/ iPad Samsung galaxy and a shed load of Kindle touches.
With Nexus selling loads why do I feel so lonely? I have yet to spot anther Nexus7 user.Have any of you spotted one yet?If so when and where?
I've seen several. A friends of mine has one. At places like chick fil a and Atlanta bread they r a frequent.
I live in Alabama though.

I've never met anybody in person with a nexus anything. That's one reason why I love the nexus line. It's a lot more rare to me and not "trendy". It's not a social status symbol.
I have yet to see one too! Although every iPad user I see is interested in my awesome tablet! :laugh:

Most places are still sold out of Nexus 7 so many would-be Nexus 7 owners have not gotten theirs yet. With that said, other devices such as iPad or Kindle have been out much longer so it's not really a fair comparison either.

Coming from somebody who's screen magically cracked without me dropping it, I would still say the N7 is one of the best tablets out there, hands down. Initial product release is always a risky time for consumers, and I knew that walking into it. You can say that it should be perfect from the get-go and yeah I would agree, but replace the N7 with anything else, whether it be the iPad, a TV, a Chevy pickup truck, it doesn't matter. Lemons exist, especially during the initial run. Couple that with the fact that there are thousands of people who never complained about their N7 and the greater picture becomes a little clearer. Forums by nature tend to attract enthusiasts of that product as well as negativity since users with issues tend to seek out a place to vent (forums being a nice target), whereas the majority of people wouldn't bother to seek out a place to speak highly of the product - they'd rather utilize that time USING that product. I think my opinion is further swayed to the positives because ASUS *did* fix mine under warranty. Granted, I called them a few times so they knew my level of frustration before they even had a chance to work on it, but the end result was a 100% functional fixed unit. I'm a fan.
Love my Nexus 7. Only complaint was that I was cheap and purchased the 8GB version. The 16GB would have been a better match.
Just got mine yesterday and Im loving it, its a c80, the only problem I found is the crackling sound that it makes when I unlock it or select something, only problem so far, hope not to get one of the other major issues...
I unlocked and rooted mine the day I bought it (a week ago).
All went well via RomManager Premium, until I tried flashing a Rom.
Which then took into boot loop for a day or so.
Eventually got it back to life via Nexus Toolkit (Wugs).
Now left it in Stock mode using NOVA Launcher Prime and all is good!
Best 7" Tab ever, and I used to own a Sammy 10.1 Tab.
Awesome value for money.
Thumbs up to Android/Google! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Same here. I'm so tired of seeing all this negativity through the Nexus 7 threads. My device is literally perfect. I've had it for about a month the now and love it more each day. No issues whatsoever, and receiving my Portenzo Bookcase in the mail the other day was the icing on the cake!!! I love this thing. Very affordable, and for the money, I got much, MUCH more than I bargained for. I'd gladly pay 250$ or even a bit more for a product of this caliber.

Wow what a crazy 4 days its been. I got the iPhone 5 since it just came out on T-Mobile and wanted to try it out. Obvisouly its a beautiful piece of hardware but damn IOS sucks. So locked down and the battery isn't any better than the N4. Why pay 300+ more? Felt like I was downgrading to a dumb phone with less battery life. Thankfully T-Mobile took it back without the $50 restock charge and gave me a new free sim card

Nice! It happened the same exact way with me back in December. Had my nexus 4 for a month but since I'm a phone junky I wanted to try something else. So I posted in on Craigslist and someone offered me an unlocked iPhone 5 32 GB for trade so I said why not? Traded, used it for a week, loved the build quality and sound through headphones and speakers but after a week I got bored to death. Sold it, bought a 2nd nexus 4 on eBay and it made me really appreciate android even more. Felt awesome!

I'm running franco milestone and while the battery life is good enough for me (1.5days if I push it) but everybody I know with an iphone 5 can go 2 days using their phones like I do and a day playing words with friends nonstop (if I did that with my n4 I'd only get half a day.)

Never was this sad ever :'( Evleaks is always spot on. Well, I hope he is really wrong this time.... :'(
Sad day, at least I have the last of its kind...
what a sad day.. now we wait for the silver program
Nothing wrong with silver other than maybe higher priced phones...... Hopefully it's not GPe phones that just turn into silver....

i still believe there will be a n6..probably the last one
As sad as i am about this news, in a way i am also happy. I think the Silver line will get better support (fixing important issues quicker) and overall the phones will have less compromises (build quality etc..), and better availability (especially for people outside the US and select EU countries).
The movie blade runner owns the name Nexus 6 so the next Nexus phone will be called something else

Nexus 5 (2014) ala Nexus 7 (2013) ?
Silver lining for $200 more probably... There's no way carriers/manufacturers would be OK with google selling a $300 phone next to their $600 phones.

This is plausible, there might not be a Nexus 6 but instead a Nexus device with a different name (probably with the word Nexus in it).
If this were the case then @evleaks would not have emphasized the term silver lining

This just means that Google is terminating the Nexus program early since the Android Silver program is not being accelerated to replace it. I wonder what their motivation for doing so is. Also, what does this mean for the Nexus 8?
Last year evleaks said that D820 is not the new nexus, but a CDMA G2 variant. He was wrong, lol.

How can people still believe it when his leaks regarding nexus devices were once unreliable?

So what is all this big fuss about? Don't you think google has screwed us over and over again with these crapping phones. I've owed gnex, nexus 4 and nexus 5 and looking forward that they would improve their phones but bottom line is you get what you pay for!!!
I will never buy another google phone ever and as a matter of fact, I will buy anything that headlines or competes directly with the nexus such as the OnePlus One the nexus killer!!!

Imo..the Nexus line is more alive than ever....
A lot of new accessories...
A lot of Google+ posts. From nexus celebrating the evolution of Nexus and from Google employees showing N5 photos all around the world.
A lot of new Countries with the Play Store's "Devices" branch.
However...there will always be a replacement......A reference device (or devices) for Android....called Nexus or not.
